Sick of fumes and noise(Guest)

Tonight 8/14/2010 from 8:30pm for 30 minutes or more, truck with "McLean" idling. Very noisy and exhaust smell unpleasant. I hope this website will help rid us of the continual noise, pollution, vibrations and general disturbance that the trucks outside the WaWa create.

Paddy Whacks floods the surrounding area with drumming and amplified guitars until early morning hours. Even through closed windows, this is very loud. Many of us who live nearby have to rise before dawn for work. Please close windows and front door to contain the noise!

The noise from Paddy Whacks is too loud for a residential neighborhood. The noise often continues until 1-2am - during the weekends mostly, but also some weekdays. The loudest disturbance seems to be when there is a live performer. I realize this business may need to have loud music to give the impression of a successful and lively place but the noise is unbearable (and a nuisance) to those who live nearby.

I have called the local police station but the noise level never decreases. I am glad SeeClickfix has the authority to alert business owners directly!

Very deep pothole in intersection of 7th and Lombard, right lane of north 7th. Seems to be a result of bus route west through the intersection. Have only hit it going north, seems fine going west up
Lombard.

This has still not been looked at. I have had L&I out there and they said they would do something about it but nothing has been done in 4+ years. It is a public safety issue, when that roof finally comes down for good-part of it is coming down on the sidewalk. It is infested with rats, mice, termites and roaches.

A sink hole on 2nd street at Christian was recently repaired. Since then 2 new sink holes have developed at the same location. One in the middle of Christian Street between 2nd street and Moyamensing Avenue and another one on the brick sidewalk at the tip of the triangle between Moyamensing Avenue and 2nd Street.

I want to...

The plans approved for this site by the ZBA require a north face of the main building to be even with the north face of the buildings on either side. This particular structural detail was asked for by QVNA and agreed to by the builder, who presented the plans at the final QVNA meeting. The second we saw that construction was not following the plan, we contacted the owner and notified the on-site construction manager. Nothing came of it.

The issue has not been fixed, and since the structure is now complete, it seems unlikely it ever will be fixed. But all of us here in the neighborhood would like to leave the issue "open" as a reference point and reminder. Many of the builders in our area are making promises at local zoning meetings to get support and then ignoring those promises when they actually build. We want to see competence, responsibility, and honesty from builders and absentee landlords, and leaving this issue open will help us with that.

I wish a Philadelphia Administrator would tell us how to stop the outbreak of improper construction in our neighborhood. The city and its officials do not perform regular inspections and do nothing to prevent people from doing whatever they want in this city. The residents and the neighborhoods suffer because nothing is in place to keep this type of behavior from continuing.
